You get over the fear of death (because you start looking forward to it) and the smell of fish (because it quickly becomes your breakfast, lunch, and dinner). Boredom is an issue, sure, but it’s not the main one; the biggest problem is not being able to get away from everyone.

And sometimes, all it takes to defeat someone big and fierce is someone small and brave.

This is a novella. Pre-launch review: Tim’s – the author’s – journey through the Falklands war is very well drawn and I felt it offered me a strong taste of the experiences he had - experiences which were arduous to say the least, yet littered with army humour. The love story with Elly is mainly centred on letters they shared and I will admit to reaching for the tissues at the end. Two people separated by war and united through love. The Falklands Engagement is a factually correct account of the author’s experience during the Falklands war, but the love story aspect is fictitious....

It is a very vulgar assumption of importance purposely to arrive half an hour behind time; besides the folly of allowing eight or 10 hungry people such a tempting opportunity of discussing your foibles."
